If the emperor hadn't been there, they would have wanted to take their troubled son home and give him a good beating.
The two men first saluted the emperor, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
The emperor was in a good mood at the moment, and raised his hand, "My two dear ministers, please don't be polite."
He smiled and asked, "What are you doing in the palace?"
Xi Xinheng replied with a smile: "I heard that Xi Rui, this troublesome guy, suddenly ran to the palace. I was afraid that he would make a fool of himself, so I went to the palace to take him back."
Liang Mingcheng also said: "I am the same."
Xi Rui said speechlessly: "Dad, I told you that I was here to do something important, so why am I so worried?"
Xi Xinheng wanted to cover his son's mouth with a handkerchief and glared at him, "Shut up."
Xi Rui looked innocent, "Dad, you are so unreasonable."
Xi Xinheng was so angry that he almost fell backwards, "You, I'll go back and deal with you."
When Xi Rui saw his father like this, he knew that returning home would be miserable.
So she looked at the emperor pitifully and said, "Your Majesty, please tell my father that I came to the palace today to offer my seed and do something serious, otherwise he will beat me when he goes back."
The Empress Dowager usually liked him very much, and the Emperor was always kind to him, so he was not afraid.
Xi Xinheng really wanted to slap this bastard back home.
Just as he was about to speak, the emperor looked at him with a smile and said, "Okay, he really came to the palace to do serious business today."
"If you don't come to the palace now, I will send someone to call you."
Xi Xinheng was stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty, what can this kid do?"
Xi Rui curled his lips and muttered quietly, "Why can't I do my job?"
Then he received a warning look from his father, and then he shut up aggrievedly.
The emperor still liked people like Xi Rui who were straightforward and not very scheming.
"Nanxi County has produced a kind of heaven-sent fine seed that can produce 1,000 kilograms per mu. They saw the harvest with their own eyes and tasted it first."
"This time I am also following Mo Qingling back to Beijing to offer seeds together."
"So Xi Aiqing, don't blame him."
Xi Rui immediately said: "Yes, we are here to offer seeds."
Xi Xinheng was shocked, obviously not expecting such a thing to happen.
He couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, are you sure that the heaven-given good seed is edible and can produce a thousand kilograms per mu?"
The emperor nodded, "Yes, it's confirmed."
"I am preparing to have someone call the ministers above the fourth rank to the palace. I want to invite everyone to taste this heaven-sent food."
It might not have required such a large mobilization of troops, but there have been so many rumors flying around recently.
Moreover, it can produce 1,000 kilograms per mu. As long as it is planted in Daliang in the next few years, the people will be able to have enough to eat. This will benefit both the country and the people and is a major event.
Xi Xinheng smiled and said, "Then I entered the palace at the right time."
I felt relieved that this bastard son did not make any mistake.
By chance, he managed to join the team that donated seeds. Judging from the emperor's attitude, he should get some reward.
He is the emperor's cousin, but because of this, their Duke's Mansion has become more low-key after the emperor ascended the throne.
His father also handed over the military power.
This earned him greater trust from the emperor.
It is related to the prosperity and decline of the family, so you must think twice before taking every step.
Liang Mingcheng didn't expect that his son was not causing trouble, but got something good.
He smiled and agreed, "Then I will also benefit from it."
Then the group followed the emperor to the main hall where he held court.
The ministers who were notified quickly rushed to the palace one after another, including Xiao Yuanshi.
"This is a gift from Nanxi County. It can not only be used as food, but also produce 1,000 kilograms per mu."
He paused and said, "These are steamed buns and corn-baked bread made from corn flour. Come and have a try."
The emperor's words were like a thunderclap, shocking all the ministers.
A grain yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu was something they had never heard of before.
If it is true, it will be a good thing for both the court and the people.
Especially recently, they also knew about the rumors outside, and many ministers were worried.
After all, a new emperor appoints new ministers, and most of them supported the emperor at the beginning.
If the emperor were to be dethroned, they would be almost finished.
So everyone smiled excitedly, "That's great."
An old minister did not believe it, "Your Majesty, are you sure the yield per mu is 1,000 kilograms?"
The emperor replied, "It is indeed true. During the harvest, not only did the magistrate of Nanxi County, Mo Qingling, personally lead people to supervise, but Xi Rui, Liang Youxiao, and Fei Yuzhe were also present."
"They can prove that the more than 1,000 kilograms of corn sent to the capital all came from one acre of land."
The people present were shocked again. How come these little dandies were also involved?
Seeing the ministers in the court looking at them, Xi Rui and the other two straightened their chests and put on a rare serious look on their faces.
Xi Rui said, "We all saw it with our own eyes, and we were the first to taste the corn to see if it was edible."
Fei Yuzhe said: "Yes, this is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. How dare we deceive Your Majesty."
Liang Youxiao thought for a moment, "People from the Nanxi County government and many people who went to the Taoist temple to burn incense witnessed it with their own eyes. It can withstand investigation."
He saluted the emperor more respectfully, and said with reverence: "This is all due to your majesty's blessing, only then can we have a good breed from heaven!"
Liang Mingcheng was stunned when he heard his son flattering the dragon.
It turns out that this bastard is not only good at coaxing the old lady and others in the backyard, but also so good at talking in the court? Xi Rui and Fei Yuzhe were not stupid either. They reacted immediately and cursed this guy in their hearts for being shameless.
Then, without hesitation, he shamelessly followed suit and flattered the dragon.
"Yes, this is the good seed that the old immortal specially gave to Your Majesty. We can prove it."
"The old immortal appeared at that time, and I saw it with my own eyes."
"Golden light flashes, indicating that the good seeds can be harvested. It is only because Your Majesty is orthodox and cares about the people, and the heaven is grateful, so the old immortal was specially sent to give the seeds."
"Yes, the wind was blowing and the sky was changing drastically. The old immortal..."
"Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune. You are the first emperor in history to be blessed with a good seed..."
I have read the storybook of "Xiu Xian", and I found that the stories compiled by several people are also very unique.
Flattering a dragon is like saying nice things for free.
The ministers present were stunned. Was it true? How could it be so miraculous?
Xi Xinheng and Liang Mingcheng immediately wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
The more these bastards talked, the more nonsense they became. They kept flattering the dragon and their faces turned red.
Hearing these words, a smile appeared on the emperor's face.
Although these guys don't usually do anything serious, their words are very pleasant to the ears.
As Mo Qingling heard the conversation going off track, he immediately stepped forward and pulled out an envelope from his bosom.
"Your Majesty, these are the last words left by the old Taoist priest who asked the corn to be planted."
"More than a decade ago, he predicted that Your Majesty would be the emperor."
"So before he passed away, he left corn seeds behind and told his disciple Shi Qingluo to plant them in July this year, harvest them in October, and present them to Your Majesty!"
